K so I finally got on our LAME work computer, the only one without a fucking web filter and did this site rating thing. I was kind of excited cuz I tend to swear a wee bit. Obviously it's a lazy system cuz it only gave me NC-17 and THIS is all it could find? Come on pal what, do you only go back like 3 posts?
Shit - 14
fart - 10
fucking - 9
ass - 8
fuck - 5
pissed -3
bitch - 2
skank - 1
Who gives a shit about fart, pissed or skank? Fart?? What?
Actually I remember having a really serious conversation with my mom when I was like 12, asking her if "Pissed" was a swear word. I honestly didn't know. She told me that yes it was a bad word. I'm sorry but I just don't consider it that bad. I think my next question to my mom was "At what age are kids allowed to swear?"
I forget what she said but I do remember it was a pretty good answer. Something about being older and mature enough to make your own decision about it. I remember I was just thinking she would just say "17." I don't know why but that was the age I figured it would be ok.
That whole conversation came about after me calling some bad-guy in a movie a "bastard." I honestly didn't know it was a bad word so my parents had to inform me.
Oh man I remember watching the "Carol Brunette Show" with them when I was little and watching a skit about Carols lost virginity. I still remember the skit and I also remember turning around on our love seat to ask my parents behind me on the couch "What's virginity?" I think they told me just to watch the show. In fact they fielded that entire question, and I forgot about it. Nice play.
The more I think about it the more I remember. Those questions and swearing incidents REALLY stick with me. I remember swimming with my parents when I was like 8 and stepping on something sharp and saying "SHIT!" I can picuture myself slowly turning to look at my Dad, who was laughing at me, plugging my nose with my fingers and slowly slipping underwater hoping I could hold my breath for say... forever.
Then later when I WAS 17 sitting in the kitchen and working myself up to say a swear word in front of them on purpose for like the first time and trying SOOOO HARD to seem nonchalant about it. I think I refereed to one of my friends as a bitch, and I don't think I sweared again in front of them for a few more years. They didn't seem to care a bit but I somehow felt that maybe 17 wasn't the magical number.

It does feel weird, swearing in front of parents, doesn't it? My sister doesn't seem to have that problem but I do. But the thing is, "fuck" is in Croatian everyday speech a substitute for many, many verbs, lol, so it's quite common to use it in a perfectly normal conversation. But when it comes to swearing out of anger or frustration, I prefer to do it out of the reach of their ears.
Jeez Lindy, all you could muster was the NC-17? I was looking to you for some more risque' rating.
I didn't swear a great deal as a youngster simply because I lived in fear of my father's wrath. My current issues with swearing I blame on my best friend in Denver. We worked together in Los Angeles, and she has the absolute worst sailor mouth...quite surprising from a nice Jewish girl! lol Oddly enough, I don't swear at all at work and never have slipped, which is good since I work with impressionable youth.
Croatian language + Fuck = Cool.
Sassy, blogging and friends ok, children no way. Glad you keep it clean for the youngsters :)
I'd rather be shot in the foot than swear in front of my little brother. He would pick that up and run with it like a freaking power rangers kite. OMG.
yes, you were much bravier than I was when I was 17...but just to make you feel better when I was 5 I called my half sister's dad a faggot and a bastard (this name calling happened on separate occasions), the former got me soap in the mouth and the later got a smile & hug from my mom. I kinda thought your rating would be much higher too, what the hell have you been fucking slacking off again, just kidding!!
Man, I swear all the time, which is really bad with two kids around. I remember one time, when Cassie was just over a year old, I was working on my computer when it crashed on me and I screamed "Fuck!" Then Cassie pointed at the computer and screamed "Fah!" So these days I have to watch what I say. But when I do slip up, I have to explain that some words are for adults only and we never, ever say them at preschool.
Jaybird, AHAHAHAHA Your mom with the smile and a hug, that cracks me up.
Helen, FAH! Awwwww that's so cute, and yet Yeah I guess ya sort of have to nip it in the bud. But for real, that's funny and cute.
LOL - it does seem like they only go back a few posts......because you deserve a fuckin' XXX for sure.
Gosh, Thanx cruiser. *blush*
